The Descendants of Thomas Kaighin and Catherine Gawne

 

Legend

Family

A unique number I have assigned to each family in my database.  They are sequenced by date or approximate date of the first marriage.

Corr Family (Corresponding)

Follow this number to the corresponding family either up a generation or down a generation.  The first entry in each family grouping is the marriage record.  So the Corresponding Family number will be the family that the father of that family came from.  A number in the Corresponding Family column next to a child indicates the subsequent family he produced.   A secondary purpose of this column is to indicate a continuation or an end of the Kaighin line in that branch.

-         “UNKNOWN” means no link to the previous generation found. 

-         “Name” means the female married a non-Kaighin male, see the “Spouse” column. 

           i.e., “Carran” means that female married into the Carran family.

-         “infant”, “child”, “teenager” indicates early death.

-         “Illegitimate”.  If the father is known, his last name will be in the “notes” column if it is not Kaighin.

-         “no issue”.  Indicates no children

-         “unmarried” – Self Explanatory.

-         In the case of multiple marriages by a male, there will be multiple numbers like “13500 / 13800”

-         In the case of multiple marriages by a female, there will be multiple names

Fam Date

The date of marriage if available.  If not, then an approximate date prior to the birth of the known first born.  If the letter “p” follows the date, this means “prior to”.

First Name

Self explanatory.  I’ve conventionalized all names to avoid duplicity and ambiguity.  It also helps when sorting the data if all like names are spelled the same.  Example, Elizabeth, Beth, Liz, Lizzie, etc., are all spelled Elizabeth.  Many times, the same person will have their name spelled multiple ways on different records or events.  All variations will eventually be added to either the “notes” column or the “IGI Christian Name Spelling” column.

M/F

Male, Female, Husband, Wife or Unmarried

Event

B=Birth, C=Christening, M=Marriage, U=Unmarried

Date

Date of event

Death / Burial

If I found the date of both events, I always listed the date of death. 

Father First

Self explanatory.

Mother Last

Self explanatory.  There were often multiple spellings of the same surname, so I always used the spelling that was used in the majority for that individual.

Mother First

Self explanatory.  Spelling is also conventionalized in this column for sorting purposes. 

Spouse

Self explanatory.  There were often multiple spellings of the same surname, so I always used the spelling that was used in the majority for that individual.

Location

Location of the event.

Of

Place or Places individual was (or is) known to have lived

Emigration

If emigrated, lists sequence of stops if known.

Notes and Sources

Sources listed here as well as anything else I found pertinent or interesting.  As of March 6, 2005 I am still annotating my sources in the databases, so all sources are not yet listed.  In any web pages I create using the database, all email address have had the “@” removed and replaced with “#”.  This hides email address from spam “spiders” that search web pages for email addresses. 

IGI

Yes/No. If there is a corresponding entry in the IGI (International Genealogical Index).  If there were multiple entries for an individual, they are listed in the “IGI Notes” column in sequence of how they show up in the IGI.  The following columns follow the same sequence.  Example, if the “IGI Notes” column contains “C, C, B”, then two christening entries and one birth entry were found for that individual, in that sequence.  The names in the next two columns and the data in the “IGI Source Batch / Film #” and the “IGI Source Serial / Sheet” columns then correspond sequentially with the C, C, and B entries in the “IGI Notes” column.
